PLAYING HAPPY FAMILIES

Draco stood up, he was completely speechless, the woman in front of him stepped into the moonlight, Draco felt like he had been hit with a stunning spell, his mouth hung open, his eyes wide,

"I'm sorry, Draco" she whispered, Draco finally found his voice,

"Oh Hermione" he said, he pulled her into a hug, "This is like a dream come true, how I wished it would be you!" he felt Hermione's body shaking,

"I didn't know how to tell you, I thought you would be so angry that it was me" Draco looked into her eyes, they were shining with tears, as were his,

"I could never be angry with you" he whispered, he brushed the tears away with his thumb, "Lily will be so happy"

"Draco, how are we going to tell her?" Hermione asked,

"Come back with me, we'll tell her together" Draco said,

"What about your family? Draco I'm a muggle-born, a Mudblood" she whispered,

"You are nothing of the sort!" Draco said, "My family, I know you remember my father being strict with me when we were younger, but he has accepted that I am a man and I make my own choices"

"I still don't think they will approve" Hermione said, Draco looked at her,

"Hermione, I am not asking you to marry me, not just yet, we will take it slowly, get to know each other again, we will do it properly" he said, Hermione smiled up at him, they sat down on the grass,

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you who I was" she said,

"You know, I had this list" Draco started, "Of likely candidates, you were on it" he said,

"Really?" she asked, Draco nodded.

"I thought you were way to studious to have a baby" he said, Hermione smiled,

"I had Madam Pomfrey use a disguise spell to hide my belly, you have no idea how many times I just wanted to tell you"

"Why didn't you? All I ever wanted was a family, I would have been so happy"

"I didn't think that you would have been, and I didn't think that your family would accept it, I was so afraid that if your father knew that I was carrying your child out of wedlock, he would take her away from me, so I thought for months about what I should do, I finally decided to leave her with you, that way you would have had your daughter and I would have been spared the heartache of having her ripped from me."

"That was why you go so upset with McGonagall" Draco said, Hermione nodded,

"That was one reason why I took the Transfiguration job, I knew you would send her to Hogwart's and I just wanted to see her" Draco hugged Hermione tightly,

"I still can't believe it's you" he said, Hermione laughed,

"Come, we must go to the manor!" Draco said standing, Hermione bit her lip,

"We are going to tell them tonight?" she asked, Draco smiled,

"Better get it out of the way" he said, he tugged her hand and they walked into the castle. They went up to their common room and Draco threw a handful of floo powder into the fireplace, he stuck his head in,

"Mother, Father!" he called, "Oh there you are, I am coming back to the manor, get Lily up now I am coming through" Narcissa left the room, hopefully to get Lily, Draco removed his head from the fireplace, he took Hermione's hand again and they stepped into the fireplace. At the other end, Lucius and Narcissa were waiting, Lily was sitting on the couch rubbing her eyes,

"Please have a seat" Draco said to his parents, "Now please let me talk, I don't want any interruptions while I explain everything" he turned to Hermione,

"I'll let you explain" she said, before taking a seat next to Lily,

"As you both know, Lily was left with me, after Hogwart's for ten years I have wanted to know who her birth mother is, as you know I went to many lengths to track her down"

"Son" Lucius interrupted,

"Father, please wait until I have finished" Draco replied, "Tonight, I met her, and it's Hermione" Draco said, smiling, "She has given me her reasons for giving Lily up and I accept them, we have also agreed that we will start off slowly so Hermione can get to know me, Lily and our ways" Draco stopped talking,

"Professor Granger, you're my Mum?" Lily said, her brown eyes wide, Hermione nodded, "So does that mean, I am not really the best at Transfiguration? You just like me because I am your daughter?" Lily said, Hermione laughed,

"No dear, I love you because you are my daughter and you have my skill in Transfiguration" Hermione replied, "You are very intelligent though"

"Draco, do you plan on marrying Miss. Granger?" Lucius asked,

"Not straight away, I expect we will be engaged before we get married" Draco said,

"Well, I only have one thing to say then" Lucius stood, "Welcome to the family, Miss Granger" he said, Hermione looked stunned,

"You mean you accept me?" she asked, Lucius smiled,

"My dear, I am an old man, but even when I was young I saw the difference you made in my son, he was truly happy while he had you and even I cannot argue with true love" Lucius,

"Thank you, Mr. Malfoy" Hermione said,

"Oh Hermione, please call me Lucius" Hermione smiled, Narcissa stood and enveloped Hermione in a hug,

"There is much to do then" Narcissa said, "Will you both be staying at the manor?" she asked,

"Please Daddy, stay tonight, I want to spend time with Prfoessor Granger"

"Lily, I'm hoping that, when we are at home you will call her Mum" Draco said, Lily's eyes grew wide,

'Mum" she said, Hermione was crying again,

"Well that's settled then, Lombard!" she called, a tiny house elf appeared

"Yes mistress?" he asked, bowing low,

"Lombard, fix up Draco's bedroom so that he and Miss Granger will be comfortable" Lombard bowed again and with a pop he disappeared. "Now tomorrow, dear we shall get to teaching you our ways, I think a new wardrobe is in order, maybe a new hair colour, yes Ithink that is a start" Narcissa said, she smiled faintly.

"We shall retire now" Draco said, he led Hermione up to his room and they prepared for bed,

"Draco, what do you mean by 'our ways'?" she asked,

"The Malfoy's are one of the oldest. Most respected Pureblood families, what Mum means is that she will teach you to walk, talk, sit, stand and dress like a Pureblood, no one needs to know of your heritage unless you wish to tell them" Draco replied. Hermione crawled into bed next to him, resting her head on his shoulder,

"Mrs. Hermione Malfoy" she whispered, Draco smiled, "It kind of has a ring to it, doesn't it?' she asked,

"It does indeed" Draco replied, he kissed the top of her head, "Good night, my love" he said, he yawned and closed his eyes.

The next morning, Draco was playing one on one Quidditch with Lily whilst Hermione went shopping with Narcissa, they took a break for lunch,

"Daddy, do you love Mum?" she asked,

"With all my heart" he replied,

"I'm glad it's Professor Granger" she said,

"Does that mean that I a half blood?' she asked, Draco smiled,

"It does, but that does not make you any less of a person, after all, you have the name Malfoy, no one will ever know other wise, nor will they question you on it." He said, Draco mounted his broom and took off into the sky,

"Come on then Lily" he yelled, they resumed their game until just before dark when Hermione returned with Narcissa. Draco couldn't take his eyes off of her, her hair had been straightened and she had blonde foils through it, she wore a dress that hugged her figure.

"Draco, I bumped into Pansy today" Narcissa said,

'Really" Draco said,

"Yes, she's pregnant" Narcissa replied, "To Gregory Goyle" Draco almost chocked on his soup,

"Goyle?" he asked, Narcissa nodded, "Wow, who would have thought"

"She asked me to pass on her regards to you and Hermione, she said to say she can't wait for the wedding" Draco frowned.

Later that night Hermione and Draco got ready for bed, Draco wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist and kissed her passionately, Hermione responded by running her fingers down his chest,

"Are you sure?" he asked, she nodded, Draco undid her dress and let it slip to the floor, Hermione undid the buttons to his shirt and pulled it out of his pants, she kissed his chest and undid his belt, Draco sat down on the bed, Hermione followed and they kissed again,

"Oh Draco" she gasped as his fingers found there way down her panties, she rubbed him till he was hard, she kissed her way down his chest again and took him into her mouth, he groaned loudly. Draco moved so that she was on top of him, he entered her and Hermione moaned. Draco sat up and massaged her breasts; he could feel Hermione reaching her climax, Draco thrust harder into her until he could feel himself climaxing. They lay cuddling in the bed,

"I love you so much, Hermione" Draco whispered,

"I love you too" Draco wrapped her in his arms and they fell asleep.

Sorry that bit was so short I am just to modest to write a sex scene but if anyone would like to write it for me, email me and let me know and I will try to include it. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter I know I enjoyed writing it.
